Looking for something to do.

I am going to be home alone all day today and when that happens I usually start to eat twice my weight and get start to get depressed. So I am wondering if there is anything I can do to my truck that is an easy day project that does not cost much, if anything at all, and that I can do in the parking lot of my lame apartment complex?

Detail it? Grab a clay bar and some wax and do the body and then clean the interior.

Get a bucket of water and some heavy duty cleaner.
Then get your jack out.
Remove one wheel at a time put it on the tailgate face down and scrub the inside of the rim.

All that accumulated brake dust you've never got to when normally cleaning the truck wheels.

I was thinking about that but we are expecting snow this week/weekend and I have a season pass to the mountain for snowboarding...so the interior would get all dirty again and I dont even want to start with the outside lol.

Any other suggestions?

get some lotion, pop in a "movie" and make sure to keep some napkins handy.


maybe do some needed maintenance ex. spark plugs, windshield wipers, replace a burnt out bulb, etc
